Books

We have many books on contemporary, controversial, and historical topics that are useful for this project.

There's a cart of books set aside that you can browse for topics, or for books on your topic once you decide.

This list of bookswe have in the Pollard library is another place to look for ideas as you're deciding on a topic.

After you decide on a topic, you can look for books here at school by going to the library's catalog on this website. Just find "Destiny Classic" under "Library Catalog." This version of the catalog allows for more advanced searches than Destiny Quest does. You can also see Ms. Doherty or Mrs. James for help finding a book.
